Prayer of St. Ignatius Loyola:  ______________________________________
 
 O Lord, teach me to serve You as You deserve.   To give and not to count the cost.  To fight and not to heed the wounds.  
To toil and not to seek for rest.  
To labor and not to ask for any reward,  
 
Except that of knowing that we do Your Will.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.
 
St. Francis Xavier baptizing a Chinese Convert.

than that of personal witness.

but no-one can argue
with a personal testimony!”   ________________

A Prayer of St. Ignatius Loyola:

 

“Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will, all I have and call my own.

 

You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will.

 

Give me only your love and your grace,
that is enough for me.”

 

-St. Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556)
